KEG OF BEER CAUSED FIGHT.
Carpen-
of landing Steve Smith and John Jav-
ucok, of 6 Snrith street, Sprlrrgwood,
in police headq rters. Christmas eve.
Tire two ace sed are Hungarians,
and Smith, in planning for the chris-
tening of Iii! baby, yesterday, secured
the beer and was taking it upstairs in-
to his apartments, according to the
story told to the. police, arid made
more noise than was pleasant to Jav-
acok. The latter. who lives dowrr-‘
stairs in the house, objected and the
result was a fight between the two
men in the back yard.
When omcer Frank S. Stratton,‘
who was called, arrived the ruerr look
ed as it they had been through a
butchering. At first it. looked as if
there had been a cutting alfrny, brrt a
closer investigation indicated that the
affair had not been quite so serious,
the wounds coming from lesser instru-
merits than knives it was also con-
sldered that some of the wounds were
from falls on the ice. The officer and
Emory Lelrotsky took the men to the
ethos of 0120‘ I Burnell to have their
wounds dressed. The officer then steer-
‘ed them to the police station. Their
cases were to have come up today.
